Love them great strings
by Sweetwater Customer on

The best

These are simply the best strings I've ever put on an acoustic guitar or a baritone ukulele. I've spent years trying so many strings and I have to say that after playing with these for the last few years, every other string sounds mushy and dull. That's not to say that a rounder and more fundamental sound isn't ever desirable but for my tastes, there's no comparison to these La Bellas. They may not have satisfied my needs in a bass string but for nylon string acoustic guitars I don't think I'll ever buy another string again!

Very Nice Strings

I'm primarily an electric player but have been dabbling in finger-style guitar for the last few years, both classical and folk/ragtime pieces. I have two cheapo classical guitars: one is a Lucero LC150SCE and the other is a 30 year old Washburn Enrique Tapicas C40 Cadiz. The Washburn actually has some decent tone and the La Bella strings made it even nicer sounding. The Lucero, while a great bang for the buck, sounded a bit dull to me. Putting a set of the La Bellas on it brought out some genuine tone and I now enjoy playing it, whereas before I'd usually opt for the Washburn.

I'm definitely a beginner classical player and I've only tried about half a dozen different classical string sets, so I guess you should take what I say with a grain of salt. That being said, the La Bellas are the best classical strings I've tried thus far.

LaBella 820 Flamenco Red Strings

I play a folk style influenced by Spanish and Mexican music. I use mostly nails (lightly) and fingertips. These strings are perfect for my style. I think that a person who has a heavy nail technique might want heavier gauge strings, but these will be good for most players, amateur to professional. The three bass strings are very brilliant, and are responsive to both light and heavy plucking and strumming. There is a definite difference in the sound of the basses and the nylon strings, but that I prefer. I can play a melody on the steel strings and repeat it on the nylons, and it sounds almost like two different instruments. If you want the sound to be more uniform, you probably want to look at another brand, but I prefer these. I have read that people complain that these nylons sound like plastic, but that is not what I find. These strings stretch quickly and hold their tuning quite well. The sound is as rich as any other nylon string. The strings are translucent, and the color is lighter than I had expected. I use black nylon on my ukulele, and they are opaque. I was expecting something more like that. I had also read that their texture is a little rough and that playing them was similar to using natural strings. They may be slightly rougher than standard strings (maybe), but they are nowhere near the texture of natural strings (at least the ones I used at a folk guitar exhibit).

I like

Bought these to practice flamenco style on non flamenco guitars, a chinese cheepo and a midrange Ibanez ga35gce. Easy to string and bring up to tune. Red color looks cool. Tone is well balanced and neither bass or treble are too strong. Good for fingerstyle and hard strumming. These are the only nylons I will use. This is the first set of nylons I have not found something to complain about..
